Trip To Jakarta!

Hey hey hey! Good morning, guys! I mean, it's really in an early morning! Ehm, wonder why do always my body turn out to be hard to get sleepy after had a tiring day? Well, it's quite gloomy and blue before. Ehem, I am talking about my last post, hahaha, so let's forget about it and move on with another happier story to tell. 😊

Let's see what I have for you, guys..

                                        

Tada! I've just uploaded a new video at my YouTube channel. Maybe you guys want to give a glimpse into it, hehehe. Talking about this video, there was another fun and hilarious journey I had with my friends to Jakarta behind it. Not forget to mention, it was free! So, I had tell about the scholarship I got months ago that made me so thankful & reminded me about my parents. Yep, that was it. After got the scholarship, all of the scholarship grantee was invited by the company to come to the gathering event at Jakarta about a month before the due date. It was also mentioned that we would get reimbursement for the transportation's fee after we arrived there. In other words, we are going to have a free trip. The amount of the reimbursement were decided by the distances from the hometown of the University to Jakarta as the destination city.                                            

I went there by the airplane along with my classmates & junior. They were Tara, Hisyam, Cecen, Rety, and Andini. We departed from Juanda Airport Surabaya at Friday, 10th February and arrived on the same day at Soekarno Hatta Airport Jakarta. Then, we took a cab to get to the Gathering's venue, at Eco Park Ancol, precisely. After arrived at Ancol, we ride on Wara-Wiri Bus, a free bus to accommodate the visitor inside Ancol. Then, we arrived at the Eco Park. By the way, we dropped off at the wrong bus stop, so we still had to walk for some miles (hahaha, ndak juga sih). But, it was fine, because we through a very nice environment to get to the hotel. We also saw some animals, pond, lot of plants & trees. It's a bit windy at Jakarta that evening. Hisyam and Cecen got new friend, he is Hamid from University of Indonesia, actually we also took the same bus, but he didn't talk too much. We also met friends from our university that took a different accommodation with us. After checked in, we got some merchandise and vouchers for tomorrow's breakfast & dinner. Then, we entered the room. It was a big room for 40 people, the bed was laid in order. We had about an hour to clean & have a pray. Then, we took our dinner and went to a place. It was in front of a stage where we can eat while listen to a live music performance. The band was so good, to be honest. Hahahah. But we annoyed by the cat's poop around this area. Yuck! After walked around, we back to our hotel & slept. 

The second day, me, Tara, Rety, and  Andini woke up so early in order to can take a bath, because they were only 3 bathroom. We took a bath at about 3 AM. Guess what, they were already queue for showers. After had a breakfast, we had a kind of "talk show" session, which talked about two topics. They were "Professional Communication" and "Leadership". It was an interesting topics with great speakers! (and also beautiful & powerful lecturer.) Such an inspiring talk. I wish I can be like them too, just wait. By the way, it was mostly raining all day long. Luckily, I brought my thin jacket inside my bag. After have done the session at Ancol, we divided into 3 bus, and went to Bintaro, Tangerang Selatan. It was an area which developed by the company along with the province government. There were many of Pembangunan Jaya's business branch at there. We visited the Sport Center which used specifically for Badminton Training. There were some Indonesia's Badminton Legend who greeted us, such us Mrs. Imelda Wigoena & Mrs. Rosiana Tandean, the PB Jaya Raya's director, and also the athlete under the guidance of this club. They have joined the club since such a young age and wander from their hometown. What makes this club special, that this club does not forget about the academic's stuffs of their athletes, so they made school and its own curriculum that would fit with the athlete's tight schedule of training & competition. From the Sport Center, we went to Jaya International School, which is a very guwd school. I wish I could sign in my future children to a school like that. The school has a very complete facilities and also runs with an interesting system. Lastly, the journey's session ended at Bintaro XChange Mall. We got a greeting from the director then we also given a 100k voucher that we can use to buy either food, clothes, shoes, etc. (It supposed to buy a dinner, but most of us used it to buy things). At 9.30 PM the bus headed to go back to the hotel. And it took around half and an hour from Bintaro to Ancol through the city's highway. The second day was a long day but luckily it passed in a blink ;)

             

The last day, we still had so many breakfast's vouchers left. That's why, we bought some more foods than yesterday. I bought, fried rice with an extra egg and crackers, orange juice (which turned out to be as same as lime juice. Surprisingly sour! but still alhamdulillah), and also a chocolate waffle. After finished our breakfast, we walked around the dock near to our eating place. We saw fishes and took some photos. Not long after that, we were commanded to go back to the hotel, got prepare for the out bond session. We didn't allow to bring important things as it was raining outside. The out bond went so fast due to the short time left for it. We divided into different group, different universities. We played some games, which were funny and I had never play some of them before. After finished the out bond. We back to the meeting point. There were the winner's announcement. My group got the third place, yaay! Then, there were closing session and we got certificates based on our universities. After that, we all packed our stuffs and prepared to go to Dufan. The third day ended by enjoying playing at Dufan. We tried rides, we went back to the hotel. Took our bags and ate foods from Hisyam's parents. By the way, it was raining so bad at night for about an hour. Lastly, we went straight to the airport. Waited our flight which was still at 4AM, that means.. yap, we slept at the airport! Hahahaha. I had a good sleep though. I slept at the waiting's bench and woke up right on 3AM because it was cold brrr! Then, we checked in and took wudhu, since it has not been Subuh at that hour.

            

That's the end of my story, wkwkwk. After arrived at home, I slept from 8AM to 2PM. :p

bucket list!

yey finally today I went here! :) 

Has always been dreaming to go to Tugu Pahlawan since several years ago but I just could make it today. Would probably be my last in-town-trip for this semester's holiday. Went there around 12 a.m in this kind of sunny day but fortunately the air breeze was still there so it didn't feel really hot, only took several photos because as you know, I'm a shame person... :p and wouldn't tell you who was accompany me but I'm feeling so thankful for that person he..he..he.. ended today's trip by watching Mission Impossible 5 and eating fried rice together at ITS.  What a happy day! alhamdulillah :3

catch you soon!

Love, Rosie

Hello world! It's morning again. Before starting the productive days ahead, would like to share some thought here. Well, after almost a month sparing my times for it, finally last night I finished reading the novel of Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern, yey :) and ended by falling in love more with the book version rather than the film. but they both actually leave the same feeling for me, the story was just too sweet yet heart-breaking all at once, fortunately they ended in a happy way though it takes 50 years due to the book version.

I always wonder why the title is Love, Rosie? Not Love Rosie? and finally found the answer after reading this. I like the way Cecelia tells the stories only through the letters, chatting, and email that've been written by the characters on this novel. The way she arranges the words and how Rosie can write every detail that happens in her life becomes so entertaining. This book will show you how people can fall in love only through letters that written upon papers.. a screen of computer.. or a phone.. for 50 years and through miles! America - Ireland, it sweets :)

I love the way Cecelia tells the stories about family, friendship, and lovers - bond between the characters on it. The Dunne Family, The friendship bond between Alex - Rosie, Katie - Toby, or Rosie - Ruby. Life happens that way, some taste sweets, some may bitter. But when you hold on and have a patience, we all will get what we deserve. You guys should read it too! I recommend you. I bet you will get so many (wise) quotes about life after reading this book wkwk :P

There’s something completely unnerving about seeing your parents upset. I suppose it’s because they’re supposed to be the strong ones, but that’s not just it. Ever since people are kids they use their parents as some sort of  measurement for how bad a situation is. When you fall on the ground really hard and you can’t figure out whether it hurts or not you look to your parents. If they look worried and rush toward you, you cry. If they laugh and smack the ground saying “Bold ground,” then you pick yourself up and get on with it.

Parents are the barometers of emotions for children and it has a domino effect. I had never seen my mum cry so much in all of my life which scared me and made me cry which scared Katie and made her cry. We all cried together.

As for Dad, he was supposed to live forever. The one who could open all the jar lids nobody else could, who fixed whatever was broken, was supposed to do that forever. The man who let me sit on his shoulders, climb on his back, chase me around while making monster noises, throw me in the air and catch me, spin me around so much until I felt dizzy and fell over laughing.

And in the end without being able to say thank you and a proper goodbye, my final memories of him turn into coffin sizes and medical forms.

There’s nothing more uplifting than to hear the sound of an innocent child being so happy in a place that people are sad. It reminds you that life goes on and on and on, just not for the one you’re saying good-bye to. People come and people go and we know this happens, yet we get such a shock when it does. To use that old cliché, the only certainty in life is death. It’s a certainty, it’s the one condition of living that we’re given but we often let it tear us

Have a good day peeps! Don't forget to feed your days by reading too :)

Perahu kertas

Lagi random bgt deh.. gabisa tidur.. dan akhirnya ngeliatin rak buku.. iseng-iseng buka novel-novel yang uda lama ga tersentuh, dan waktu aku bukain satu-satu, weh! pada berjamur bercak-bercak gitu! apalagi ini!

oiya, kalo orang tanya/minta rekomendasi novel ke aku

pasti aku bakal bilang "Apa ya? aku sih sukanya Perahu Kertas"

Gatau aku suka aja sama ceritanya. Ngena aja gitu. Ceritanya ngalir dan realistis. Aku suka ceritanya Kugy sama Keenaan, yang ngejar mimpi, yang diem-diem ternyata punya perasaan yang kuat gitu, bukan karena kisah cinta yang unyu-unyu dan romantis, tapi emang karena ada sesuatu dr mereka berdua yang "klik", yang bisa mendukung satu sama lain.. mengisi satu sama lain.. menginspirasi satu sama lain.. dan terbiasa dengan itu semua.

Dan menurut aku... that's how love simply works, in reality.

"Saya belajar dari kisah hidup seseorang. Hati tidak pernah memilih. Hati dipilih, jadi kalau Keenan bilang, Keenan telah memilih saya, selamanya Keenan tidak akan pernah tulus mencintai saya. Karena hati tidak perlu memilih. Ia selalu tahu kemana harus berlabuh."

Keren ya? :)

November

beautiful scenery at Paralayang and Pantai Gua Cina

Hey blog..

finally i got a free time for awhile, at least it's still 4 hours until i need to do something again. so, I want to fulfill my promise to someone that asked me at ask.fm hehe..

yes, I've been being so busy lately.. my academic and non academic's activities, both kept me running, mostly at this November. I even never spent my weekend at home! So these are what I did last month.. (especially at the weekend)

1) Done one of training's following event at my campus.

2) Done one of my task, went out with friends, slept over at her house, then the next day I went to Car free day, and played basketball.

3) Went to support my major KJI team at Malang

4) Had RAKER and watched Maliq.

and at the weekdays, I had a super tiring school's days because I got such a much tasks, a heavy series of practices, lot of evaluations, and another activities.

It can be a super long story if I should write every detail that happened to me, so I will just tell you the highlight part of it ;-) okey?

So, the training's following event that I've done was called TD Pusaka. I was being an OC in there. Like usual, I need to prepare things that needed, wake up earlier, etc. But the good news is I did it with my other 50+25 friends :) So, the tiredness were paid back by having a good time with them! :) Btw, from that activity, me and my friends have new toy to play, it's called "Break claps". It's a series of clapping hand with different patterns from 1 to 7, and it's challenging because it has a nice and engrossed sounds. Beside that, me and Vio was taught (not-so) privately by someone that I can't tell the name. :p

The next weekend, I had an even crazier days! It happened when my friends, Vio and Bibib asked to finish our Mektek Task together. actually, we supposed to do it at KFC Kertajaya with Hisyam, but suddenly these two girls popped front of my house, and all the plans were changed. At the end, we've done it at my house while eating an ice cream that we bought earlier :) But not so long after we started to do our homework.. we got bored.. and had an idea to go to Sutos instead hahaha! So.. yeah there we go.. SUTOS at 10 P.M!

Guess what we did in there? Yes, after goofing around for couple times, enter the stationery's store, watching people eating, then we end up by entering the cinema, buying the popcorn. And... only...watching.. trailer of films! :p

our sleepy faces

at 12 PM we went back, I had a sleepover at Vio's. It was raining on that day.. and suddenly omik answered my message, so we were chatting for awhile, but he's on busy mode that early morning so I decided joining Vio to sleep hihi. The next morning, Bibib picked me and Vio up! We went to help Icak vend at Car Free Day Darmo. Me and Vio bought socks in there! It was only 5000 and we got two pairs of it! :D So cheap huh, after tired walking around in there, finally we found Icak. Then we bought many foods, yeah! I ate up 1 portion of fried rice and 2 portions of grilled meatballs. Hweheheheehhhhh, so full! :)

After had my stomach full, we went to Basketball court at ITS Sukolilo. yeah, I played for some minutes in there :)) only randomly running with my shoes off.. and it felt hot! I also played free throw ball with Bibib and Vio. So, we had terms that before we throw the ball we should shout the name of someone that disturbing our mind hahahaha. So.. when I got my 3rd turned, I shout Tommy's name. "Ini buaaaaaaat omiiiiik" then I throw the ball, and dang! it was goal! :p But when I told him this story, he said that it was dramatic --" *sobs* yeah.. that's how I ended my crazy 2nd weekend! Woho!

Well..now we got on the 3rd weekend part. It will take too much words to describe the happiness of my 3rd weekend's journey. Maybe, these videos and pictures below would tell you better :)

failed video =))

 

better one =))

our happy faces! finally, beach!

This journey was especially dedicated for our friend Tiara who needs a refreshment because of something :) I hope you won't ever be sad again! After supporting our major's team at KJI and KBGI events, we made our own holiday! Yes, we spent 3 days and 2 nights at Batu-Malang. I was so happy that days, I met some of my high school's friends too in there, they were Hendro, Devy, and Nanda. It was good to feel the nice and cold weather of Batu-Malang (again).. having jokes with friends.. spent the night together.. at Alun-alun, at the car along the journey, etc. Being with the ones you loved and love you, always good, right? :) 

Thanks for the great holiday! As always.. Looking forward for the next! yeyy yeyy

Finally.... I reach the last part! It's my 4th weekend!

So, I have a new activity, I got accepted for being a staff at BEM FTSP, I'm at Communication and Information Department. I dont know how.. but I really liked my job.. It's like I'm not doing anything, because everything that I gotta do.. were my hobbies! Writing.. capturing moments.. editing photos. :) I know, Allah always knows the best. right? alhamdulillah. What's more exciting about it? I met many new friends in there. Hopefully I can get along well with them.. do every of my tasks in here well too.. and be consistent aamiin! 

last day activity.. after sitting for hours in 3 days! hoaam

after finished the raker sessions. Bibib and Vio (again) picked me up! Because we need to catch our interview test at chemical engineering building. Hehe, it was my first time went there, seriously guys after a year! ckckckck. Well.. if you 're going to ask me how was the test going?.. you better not :-) Maybe vio and bibib would answer it better (because they found something interesting in there..hahahaa).

at east coast

After we've done the interview sessions, we went to mosque and had a long chat in there. and at 8PM we went eating at East Coast, and as the closing part of this year's November! We watched Maliq D' Essentials! Woo! I thought, it was a great performance by them, because it has been awhile since the last time I watched a music concert..hehe.. by the way.. have i tell you that Bibib had her birthday on that 30th November? kindly shout "Happy birthday Bibib" yaa! And also don't forget to wish her the best wishes :)

So..that's how my November went.. see you folks! tasks are already waiting for me! bye

Wind, sky, and you

Hey, blog! I'm back again! :)

Last Saturday and Sunday, me and my other four friends just had a short holiday to Malang :) Well, actually we supposed to look for villa for our major's event next month in there.. But beside that, we took our times and had fun instead. :-p

So, we went there from Surabaya at 11a.m on Saturday morning, actually it supposed to be at 5a.m, but because of my sudden event, we couldn't make it, and end up went there at 11a.m. The traffic was kinda crowded that day, it took 6hours for us to arrive at Malang, and.. luckily the weather was not so hot, it was kinda gloomy, even we wished that it will rain, but it wasn't. We sang a lot at car, talking this and that.. you know, heart's problems =)) took photos, made video, slept, ate, and so many else. 

Finally, at 17.17 we arrived at Egar's house. Placed at Jalan Sulfat, Malang, it has a super cozy environment, also the weather, it was cool, kinda windy, and the grey sky, made it feel perfect! After entering the house, Egar's mom was greeting us, and let us cleaning our self. The girls were sleeping at Egar's room which all is colored blue (and i think, omik would love it) then the boys were sleeping at Egar's sister's room which dominated with pink, hahahaha. After had some rest, Egar's parents invited us to have a dinner outside and we ate Sop Ayam! Which made us so full at a blink of eye! Ugh, but it was a delicious choice in that kind of weather, thank you so much om dan tante for the foods heheh! :)

the way our horizons meet..

After done eating, Me, bibib, temon, icak, palom were going to Payung. (Egar couldn't join us because he was sick), We seek for that famous starry night Batu's view in there~ Though the traffic was kinda jam.. we still enjoy our trip.. and finally arrived there. After moved from one place to another because of so many reasons, we could finally decide a place and delivered some foods! Like, milk, bread toast, and grilled corn. I enjoy gazing at the night's view.. though it's kinda cold, i felt happiness running through my veins, and made me feel warmer within myself. You know.. as I passed every way into there, I saw many old films playing in my mind, like.. every place has its own memory at my heart.. and i missed them all. But now, 3 years after that, i have my new journey with new people, making new stories all over again, and i figure out how fast times are. :) After enough enjoying the night, we back to Egar's house, and arrived there at 11.54 pm. Soon, after we entered the house, 3 people were directly pray Isya, and the left 2 were busy took out their stomach's contents wkwkwk, soon then we slept !

The 2nd daay, we went to Cuban Rondo Waterfall. Honestly, that was my first time going there =)) Like usual, we took photos, entered the pond, and the water was supppeerrr cold =)) From Cuban Rondo, we had lunch with Egar, Jija, Dzul, and Egar's brother at Waroeng Bamboe. Was a cozy restaurant with good concept. Lastly, we went to find the villa, haha!

Around 5 pm, we had our way to go back to Surabaya. Not doing much in the car, because everyone was already tired. (feeling sorry for Temon because he couldn't take a rest as long as the journey like we do). Was another great journey with friends :) and my personal companion who company me even when it was only through the phone, haha! looking forward for the next. Hopefully soon yah! Thanks everybody.

The Air of Freedom

Menurutku, menulis itu adalah udara bebas. Sebuah sarana mengekspresikan apa yang ada di diri kita. cerita masa lalu, angan-angan, isi hati, pengalaman, pemikiran, pendapat, hal yang menyenangkan, hal menyedihkan, apapun, apapun, kamu bisa menulisnya. 

Mengapa aku mengatakan begitu? Bagaimana dengan apabila kita menulis dengan kata-kata buruk, atau yang bisa menyakitkan orang lain, ato mungkin melanggar peraturan? Kembali lagi, itu sih terserah kepada si penulis kan. Kalo memang dia ingin menulis sesuatu yang blak-blak an, no sensor, dengan kata-kata kasar, ya nanti sang penulis lah yang akan menanggung akibat dari pilihannya itu kan.

Apapun yang hendak kita tulis, itu adalah kebebasan kita. Kita sebagai penulis. Dan menurutku itulah keasyikan dari menulis, you don't need anyone's approval, you just write what you want to write, you just write what you want to relieve, you just write what your heart's says. :)

Literally, ada satu hal lagi yang gak bisa dipisahkan dari menulis, ini juga merupakan salah satu kegiatan favoritku. Tahu kan apa? Yep, benar sekali- membaca. Secara nggak sadar, sehari-hari aku tidak pernah terlepas dari kegiatan ini. Dan aku yakin, kalian yang kehidupannya sudah berada di garis kelayakan, pasti juga mengalami hal yang sama denganku. Setiap hari, kalian pasti akan membaca sesuatu, misalnya, ketika kalian membuka akun sosial kalian, banyak hal yang sudah kita baca, mungkin ungkapan hati akun yang kita ikuti, mungkin fakta-fakta, mungkin update'an berita, ya kan? :) Akupun sama.

Sama seperti menulis, membaca juga merupakan sebuah udara kebebasan. Sebagai pembaca, kita bisa bebas memilih apa yang ingin kita baca. Kita males baca ini, sukanya baca topik yang itu. Kita gak suka tulisannya orang A, tapi ngefans berat sama tulisannya orang B. Kita nggak bisa baca tulisan yang pake bahasa ini, kita bisanya bahasa itu. As a reader, you hold your own choice for what you want to read. :)

Kadang sebagai pelajar, kita terlalu muluk berbicara tentang kebebasan. Kita mudah benci dengan peraturan lembaga tempat kita menempa ilmu, yang terlalu mengekang, terlalu memberatkan, terlalu akademis, terlalu padat jadwal, dan lain-lain. Akupun tidak menyalahkan pandangan itu, karena stigmaku pada sistem pendidikan yang sekarang pun juga tak jauh dari itu.

Tetapi, kapan hari, aku membuka sebuah link, yang berisi tentang lukisan yang diinterpretasikan oleh seorang pengamat lukisan. Akupun cukup takjub ketika membacanya. Mungkin, kalau misal aku melihat gambar-gambar itu tanpa adanya tulisan-tulisan tersebut, aku sangat yakin, pemikiranku tidak akan sampai kesitu. 

Dari gambar itu, timbul pertanyaan dari dalam diri.

Pendidikan. Harusnya mampu mencerdaskan peserta didiknya, memberi ladang kebebasan untuk mengekspresikan pemikiran, menguji kompetensi. Mampu berdiri diatas kakinya sendiri, sebagai individu, mengapa? Karena kita sudah berpendidikan, beredukasi.

Tetapi bagaimana fakta yang ada sekarang?

Konon, siswa ataupun mahasiswa sekarang, khususnya Indonesia, bukannya menjadi sosok yang independen, justru malah dicemari menjadi generasi yang suka mencontek, suka plagiat, suka bolos, suka membelot, bangga menjadi pelanggar, dan lain-lain. Menurutku, pendidikan kini- justru menjadi subjek yang membodohi objeknya. Sistem pendidikan kini lah yang mendorong objeknya menjadi memiliki mental-mental seperti itu. Karena, sistem yang ada sekarang, menanamkan, nilai lebih penting daripada pemahaman. Kejujuran tidak dihargai. Yang memiliki nilai, tanpa memedulikan bagaimana cara mendapatkannya, yang akan menang, daripada mereka yang memahami. Sungguh sangat disayangkan.

Apa sih yang aku ingin bilang disini?

Hmm lebih tepatnya, aku sekarang sedang mengajak kita semua, untuk bertanya, terlebih kedalam diri kita masing-masing. Harusnya pendidikan adalah yang membuat orang mampu berdiri diatas kakinya sendiri, lalu bebas, ingin melangkahkannya kemana. Bukan malah menjadi penekan kebebasan seseorang. Membatasi ruang fikir kita hanya pada sebatas ukuran nilai dan kertas-kertas ujian, tugas, laporan nilai, peraturan. Dan berujung, kita melakukan itu semua, karena keterpaksaan. Bukan kebutuhan.

Masih terpatri dibenakku ketika aku masih duduk di bangku Sekolah Dasar. Orang tua, bapak, dan ibu guruku kala itu sering mengingatkan kami bahwa sebagai siswa, tugas utama kami adalah belajar. Dan kegiatan belajar ku dulu hanya dapat dipenuhi dengan kegiatan membaca ataupun menulis, karena Teknologi belum secanggih sekarang. Tapi, justru di waktu dulu lah aku menemukan nikmat menjadi pelajar. Ketika rasa ingin tahu, mencambuk sebagai rangsangan ingin menjadi seseorang yang rajin dan pandai. Aku belajar karena aku merasa butuh, aku ingin bisa membaca lebih, dan aku juga ingin menulis banyak hal darinya. Seperti itu.

Aku rasa, budaya itulah, yang kini sudah runtuh. Kita menyepelekan membaca dan menulis, kita sering melakukannya tanpa menghayati sisi utamanya. Aku punya contoh nyata, yang sering aku sebagai individu alamin,

"Kamu ga nyatet?"

"Enggak udah aku foto kok."

"Yaudah aku nanti nyalin ya."

"Kamu ga ndengerin?"

"Nggak, nanti aku baca di rumah aja"

Dan akhirnya jam pembelajaran pun menjadi tidak efektif. Dan yang ada, justru hanyalah rasa malas yang kian menumpuk.

Sekarang aku baru sadar, ketika aku merasa kebebasanku banyak terenggut dari pendidikan yang aku jalani, mungkin aku sendiri yang perlu melakukan instropeksi, karena sepertinya akulah yang sudah melalaikan beberapa hal.

Tenyata, selama ini aku sedang lupa, kalau aku sudah diberi kebebasan. 

Ya, kebebasan untuk membaca dan menulis.

Hal dasar selamanya akan selalu dipakai, berhubungan, dan seterusnya berguna. Sama seperti, penambahan, pengurangan, pembagian, perkalian dalam Matematika yang seterusnya akan terpakai ketika kita belajar Matematika. Sama seperti, a i u e o ba bi bu be bo dalam Bahasa Indonesia, yang seterusnya akan terpakai ketika kini pun kita berbicara ataupun membaca. Membaca dan menulis adalah hal dasar yang seterusnya harus kita pakai, kita hubungkan, dan kita gunakan dalam belajar, menempuh pendidikan, ataupun hidup kita seterusnya. Karena, hidup adalah sebuah pembelajaran, karena hidup adalah sebuah cerita yang kita tulis, lalu kita baca esoknya, supaya kita belajar menjadi lebih baik, terus dan terus seperti itu. Dari menulis, kita membagi 1001 hidup, dan dari membaca kita menghidupi 1001 kehidupan. Sungguh, hal yang sangat kaya, bukan?

Jadi, kalo kamu juga pernah lupa, semoga ini  mampu mengingatkanmu. :)

P.S: i found a very good article just couple weeks after i wrote this post. You must also read it peers. click here! :)

First Outing Experience!

Hey peeps! ;)

This, time i'm going to share you about my quite-much-interesting experience! Which I just have done two days ago :) So I just followed an outing activity that held by my campus for an open recruitment to be their volunteer. And I must say... it was a nice first experience. Yeah, like, i really meet a new thing to try! Meet a total new environment, meet new friends, and heuh (finally) I'm out from my comfort zone.

This outing was held for three days. And it didn't take a long time (only about two hours/day) but in that such short time, i feel like, i got many things to learn. New spirit, new perspective, new friends, new togetherness, new feeling of having responsibility, and new feeling for caring. Mostly about, internationalization.

The first day, all the participants of outing got a great speech from Ms. Maria about the fact that our beloved country, Indonesia, have. She could hypnotized me enough to open my mind wider about internationalization, about facing the upcoming AEC in 2015, about my motivation for following this oprec. 

"you think your country has too many problems, but actually it's much muuch moree than THAT we already knew out there. They think the upcoming AEC is not a big problem, but actually yes IT IS. So, let's start asking from yourself first, have you ready enough to face it? It still few people who cares about this. There's only 98 out of 12.000 who think about this big matter. It's only 98 person out of 5% from 250k Indonesia's citizens who cares about this big matter. So if you say that you really love this country, this is your big job! At least to make your 11.902 other friends realize first! You're success in Internationalization if you already feel that you're in the same level with other people from another country. Students have a big role in this internationalization. Because, you're the lucky ones who can study in university. The future of your country is in your hands. So if your motivation are only to get SKEM, or to enhance your English skill, be wiser! You can take role more than that. And however, want or won't, this's the condition that you will face soon as the challenge of time. That's!"

That's only partly of what Ms. Maria said at the opening session on the 1st day, that's what I catch, mark, and remember. I must missed something there, but yeah, that's really a cool speech.

After got speech, the next agenda was, a presentation from a former in there, he told us about one of big event in there. After that we were divided into groups which one group consist of three people. fortunately I got group with one of my GERIGI's friend, Tommy from Ocean Engineering and also with a senior from Industrial Engineering, named mba Nola. We got the 4th Topic, so we need to plan one of the sub event. And presented it on the last day. And that's how, the activities on that day was ended. 

On the second day of Outing, Me, mba nola, and tommy made a deal to work our tasks in ITS's Library at 2P.M. In there, i also met others group. We brained storming our ideas and blend it into a final plan in there. Mba Nola was previously experienced in this field, since She was one year early in ITS, and she also know much about SME. And Tommy was a diligent boy one, he already made a blurry plan about it, so we could done it smoothly. Just need a final finishing about the presentation. Yay!

Because, that was still 4PM when I already done, and the 2nd Outing was held at 6.30 PM. I decided to wait at my big Uncle's home. I spend good time with my big aunty and older cousin, I cooked, chatted, ate, and watched film in there, wuhuuw. My brother told me some stories in there =)) (emhh, actually we were gossipping) hahaha. Time walks so fast in there and i still need to come for Outing, So i permitted to leave.

2nd day of Outing was fun! All time were spend for playing games! It method to know how's someone when they need to work on group. So, it more emphasized in how the team-work is in solving problems that given. The 1st was we got an issue and we're asked about the solution, etc. And then, we're given p**** and s****, yea it's more how we should be creative, unified, and have job desc for each of us :)

Last but not least.

It was the last day of outing. Quite unique experience for me, because this was my first time directly interacted with foreign students. Yea, I mean, I never really done this before. Have a group discussion with foreigner, and they were from Thailand!!! Ketjeh kan? You know right, just how hard is it to understand their speak? to understand their writing? But it wasn't. We could comfortably and smoothly speak with them, share with them, and they were really nice :) Also, sssst I got a group discussion with the beautiful ones! I mean, she's really beautiful! And they both are from Civil engineering. It's the same department with me!

After had session with ASEAN Camp's students, the Outing event was continued, it was time for presentation. I got so nervous, because i need to talk front of people, especially in English. Hrrrr, you must know how my hands and voice were being shaky.. =( I know i was really cupu!
Okayyyyy the rest stories were not really a highlight. I just made fun with people who sit nearest to me (don't ask who and what we were doing, haha) and guyss, that daay, the room was really extremely COLD! brr><

ok, bye

A hectic week

My life this week in black & white

Hey blog... I guess this is the place where I end up when I reach my lowest point. Sorry, blog... that's why you're rather gloomy and mellow-drama lately hehehe but I tend to seek for relieve by writing here only or mostly when I get stuck, sad, tired, or terribly bored.

Look, I don't mean to complain, I think Allah has always been soo good to me. I know many people will switch place with where I am now. But there's always this one point when you're not satisfied, and that's what makes us human, right?

But, I must admit it, that this week was one of those tiring weeks ever. Due to many things that I should have done in 7 days. Not only consumed my thoughts but also lots of my energies.

Reversing time back into 7 days ago, after cycling  in the morning, I was getting an accident near my house. I fall and got some wound, gladly it wasn't that bad. Monday to Friday, I never got home earlier than 9-10PM, I drove to here and there.. I ran for this and that.. And plus.. My school's stuffs. Task, exam, etc. Which are never stop coming and coming like the water flows.. 

And, it's Sunday, which means tomorrow is already monday again. Like, "hheu.."  I know, I better take a rest or doing my homework or read some books instead of grumbling here, but i just feel like, I need a little escape now.. I've been going to a bookstore yesterday, but it doesn't help much. I still feel need sort of a little pause, such as have a school's day off, or going to somewhere, or simply writing here, maybe?

But then, I was companying my mom and my grammy to fresh market yesterday. In there i found how life was so opposite between one person to another, including me. And I should be thankful to Allah for His blessing.. I should reminding myself however I'm in bad condition that there're still many people out there who's in worse condition than me..  and my life that I have doesn't that hard to compare with theirs.

This's part of my journey to be someone who i wish i eventually turned out in the future. And I should fight for it. This's the war that never going to stop between me and my own self. I may feeling this in one time, but i must not let it control me all the time. Being a moody person is really a bad thing..hzz :''|

That is a video which's a compilation of videos that I took during this week when I was going to many places. I collage it into one and give it a soundtrack. That's the song that I mostly listening to lately.  KITA BISA by RAN ft. Tulus, it's a beautiful song, right? :)

You're my number 1 inspiration!

Hmmmmmm... I found some couple sketches that I made, long time ago. I also read some of my old drafts. Then It made me realize jussssssst how productive I could be when I...have someone who inspire me. I can draw, I can sing, i can make a handy craft, i write poems, i write stories, simply because I have someone that can be a character inside my imagination. And i think i like it ;)

You know, I portrait how world will be so much prettier, easier, and other better things when we could simply inspire each other. When we share positive vibes each other. HA HA HA  like when we're falling in love, maybe? HA HA HA we all know how people say that love is blind. yes, you only see the good things from someone that you fall in love with, no matter how actually bad are they, but they just look ok for you ;)

Katanya RAN siiiihhhh

".....Tunjukkanlah rasa cintamu,

 coba buat mereka tahu, 

betapa indahnya dunia,

 bila engkau sedang jatuh cintaaa....."

It's not always means love to someone. Love is an universal thing. Maybe loving our job. Maybe loving what's we're currently studying, maybe loving our friends then we plan to do something positive together,  maybe loving our religion, our Allah, and there're still so many things that we can fall in love with which means there're so many things that can inspire us to do something good ! <3

“You might feel worthless toone person, but you are
priceless to another.”
